Ingredients with limit values that require monitoring at the workplace: disodium disulphite (1-5%) WEL Long-term value: 5 mg/m³ Additional information: The lists valid during the making were used as basis. Personal protective equipment: General protective and hygienic measures: The usual precautionary measures are to be adhered to when handling chemicals. Do not inhale gases / fumes / aerosols. Avoid contact with the eyes and skin. Respiratory protection: Not required. Protection of hands: The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/ the substance/ the preparation. Due to missing tests no recommendation to the glove material can be given for the product/ the preparation/ the chemical mixture. Selection of the glove material on consideration of the penetration times, rates of diffusion and the degradation Material of gloves The selection of the suitable gloves does not only depend on the material, but also on further marks of quality and varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. As the product is a preparation of several substances, the resistance of the glove material can not be calculated in advance and has therefore to be checked prior to the application. Butyl rubber, BR Nitrile rubber, NBR Neoprene gloves Penetration time of glove material Gove material: Butyl rubber with breakthroug-time: 480 min, layer thickness: 0,4 mm Gloves made of nitrile rubber with layer thickness >0,38mm and breakthrough-time >480min Glove material: Neopren with breakthrough time: >240 min, layer thickness: >0,65 mm The exact break trough time has to be found out by the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be observed.
